Root Phone doesn't boot anymore

Okay,

I'm trying to get a working version of Gingerbread on someone else's phone because it is rebooting all the time and was kind of hopeless to start with. I figured a vanilla version of Android might do it some good.

Now I've tried using Unrevoked on this Desire, which was UK T-Mobile branded and it didn't work. It stopped halfway and the phone wouldn't boot anymore at all. Then I tried several RUU's, the ones specific to UK T-Mob and the worldwide one. Those didn't work.

After that I tried this RUU for the Gingerbread update (which should be for everyone, right?)

It worked and flashed right on the device and the bootloader now shows this:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 1-1.02.0001
MICROP-031d
TOUCH-PANEL-SYNW0101
RADIO-5.17.05.23

It is still not booting though, can anyone help me with this please?
